Q&A with Mohombi

Tell us how you started on your musical career and who influenced your music.

I grew up with Latin Music and I’m still growing with the culture. All the way from Celia Cruz to Pitbull, I have made lots of collaborations with multiple Latin Superstars that will be out soon.

Tell us about “Movin” featuring BirdMan and Caskey.

I believe that Movin is a great way to introduce my upcoming album “Universe.”

Let’s say that “Movin” is a planet full of energy and diversity. I represent AfroPop, Caskey kills it with his Cash Money Rap & the party is hosted by the Soca King Himself Mr KMC. The fact that Birdman himself introduces us in the song speaks for itself.

We saw the video and we were impressed by your dancing skills.

My parents used to have a nightclub when I was a child. Do I need to say more ?

How are you planning to conquer the U.S. audience?

My music is about building bridges and the music Industry is becoming more open to foreign music, realizing that we have more similarities than differences.

I’m just gonna keep doing what I do best: Be myself, and everything is gonna be alright… I’m not coming to the U.S. alone. I’m walking in with a story and millions of followers.

Sofia Vergara recently revealed her 3 top beauty secrets: Her seamstress, a clean diet, and coconut oil is what keeps this sexy Latina confident on her image.

Vergara is not a fan of crazy diets; she is a firm believer that can you eat or drink anything you want but in moderation. This was all revealed in an interview with Yahoo!

“I’ve never been into any crazy diets or any crazy exercising, I have never been the last girl at the party, and I never drink a lot,” says Vergara, who will splurge on a glass of wine with dinner. Instead of suffering a pre-show detox, “I try to do the whole year in moderation. I do eat carbs, but I try to eat clean from Monday to Thursday, you know, add a lot of fruits and vegetables and protein. Sweets are the hardest part for me. I try and cut down on the sweets just a little bit the week before an event and work out a little bit more. I don’t have that much time because of work, so I try to make it easy for me.”

She explains the different rules you need to follow when you step out of the house.

“[Latin women] are always kind of sexy and we are always taught you can’t leave the house without lipstick or doing your hair or wearing high heels. I think all those things, believe it or not, can change how women feel about themselves. We all need help, we are all not perfect!”

She also suggests highlighting your best assets.

“If your midriff is not good but you have great cleavage you should find an outfit that shows that,” she says. “You need to play with what you have.” It’s why Vergara depends on her signature hair and makeup look, never veering far from her comfort zone. “I think it is important for women to know what looks good on them,” she says.

But what is the secret behind her silky hair? “In my time off I just put natural coconut oil in my hair. Everyone compliments me [on it], and I am always shoving my hair in people’s faces,” Vergara said.

The Colombian actress confessed that her best friend and her stylist are the ones behind her perfect fitted look.

“A stylist helps me; she brings me the dresses very late! [My] stylist is a “mind reader” when it comes to selecting gowns. Because of my body type, I need to take a little bit more time than other actresses with less curves. My best friend is my seamstress.”

Even thoughJ Balvin is very successful in his native country Colombia and throughout Latin America, he is taking his career to a new level by going on tour with Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull.

“This tour is a dream,” J Balvin told VOXXI,”this is a huge opportunity to reach the Hispanic audience in the U.S. and also to expose my talent to a bigger audience, I’m still in shock.”

Spanish megastar Enrique Iglesias is just as thrilled to be touring with J Balvin, even sharing a “selfie” moment with the young urban singer.

“Guys I’m excited to announce that @JBalvin is coming on tour with @pitbull and I!!!,” Iglesias shared on social media.

His music transcends language barriers

At a very young age Jose Alvaro Osorio Balvín better known as JBalvin became interested in music.

The Colombian artist, originated from Medellin, shared with VOXXI that he started out in a rock band as a guitar player but it wasn’t until he moved to New York and lived in the “big apple” for sometime, that he fell in love with urban music and Hip Hop.

The 29-year-old singer still remembers how he felt when he step on a stage for the first time to perform his music.

” I was very anxious and scared on my first concert… I was eager to see how the audience was going to take it, it was an amazing feeling.”

The rising reggaeton star is always traveling and touring around the world and not long ago he was recognized in Romania as artist of the year in the Zu Music Awards.

In addition, J Balvin confessed that his next big dream will be to conquer the global market and collaborate with different anglo artists such as Drake, Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

His success has been credited for his charismatic personality and hard working attitude but he revealed that the key to all of this is that, “he is just a young artist like no other with big dreams and huge desire to succeed.”

Take a look at J Balvin’s crazy hangover video, “6AM” featuring Farruko, which is currently in the “Top 5 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart.”
